Just tried F11 Beta on my home machine with an on-board NVidia GeForce 7100 chipset. The MB is the EVGA 7100.
A bug that was found in F10 with this combo has returned in F11B. Back then, F10 would not properly recognize my GeForce 7100 card and basically stop. I would fall back to VESA to get things to work, but would have to force a default xorg.conf file onto a USB drive Live CD to make that happen. We did get a fix into F10.
Well, the same thing is now back in F11B. It's exactly the same problem. I still don't understand why we can't recognize this card. It seems that it has been consistently left off of the compatibility list for the OpenSource NVidia drivers. Only the proprietary drivers work correctly with it.
Any chance we can at least get a fix in F11B so we fall back to VESA for now? Any chance we could actually see this card supported by the OpenSource drivers?
This problem makes installing Fedora a REAL HASSLE!
Cheers,
Chris
